A week into January, life begins to return to normal. The ornaments have
been taken down, carefully wrapped in tissue paper, and packed away again until
next Christmas. The tree (a real one this year) is out on the brush pile,
currently providing temporary shelter for birds and already well on its way to
becoming the dry and brittle centerpiece of next midsummer's bonfire. The last of the pine
needles have been vacuumed out of the carpet; the living room furniture
returned to normal configuration; the holiday cards taken down and
changes-of-addresses noted and filed away; and the NFL playoffs have begun as
they rightly should, with the Packers beating the snot out of the Vikings. It's
time to pause, take a deep breath, and take stock of the situation.
